Alternate versions

The US version is cut by approximately one minute to get an NC-17 rating.

An uncut DVD release is due out soon, from Japan, but although this marks the first such release anywhere in the world, this DVD will have an "X" marked on all scenes that are extreme in nature. Bearing in mind the nature of the film, this means that the "X" will appear pretty-much throughout.

The UK release was cut, cuts required to remove portrayals of children in a sexualised or abusive context and images of sexual and sexualised violence which have a tendency to eroticise or endorse the behaviour, in order to obtain an 18 classification. Cuts made in accordance with BBFC Guidelines and policy. An uncut classification was not available.

The German version was heavily cut for violence by 13 minutes in order to get a "not under 18" rating from the FSK. Uncut version is pretty much banned in Germany.
